Edit a Translate Feature

An Origin Translate feature once applied creates a new Part Coordinate System from an existing PCS. You may edit the original XYZ values that were used to create the new PCS, even after features have been measured in that new PCS.

A warning will prompt you to rebuild all coordinate systems by running the program from the beginning. This is a necessary step to ensure all features and PCSs established after the translate feature will be recalculated to eliminate any projection errors.

To edit the existing translation feature, highlight that feature and activate the sub menu by right clicking, see figure 1.

NOTE: The ability to edit a translated feature is only available when the translate feature had absolute entered values, not values derived using the last feature option as described in Origin Translation.

Enter the new translation values in the Translation Tool, see figure 2, and press the <Ok> button. Geomet will display a warning that the features after translation step will no longer have valid positional data, see figure 3.

After the edit operation has been completed, we recommend that you save the part inspection file and run the file to rebuild the Part Coordinate Changes.
